116: Chapter 116 This is Ye Xiao's livelihood; how could he not be good at tomb raiding?

Two team members pulled Xiao Wang behind them, while the rest of the team raised their guns, pointed them at the wall in front, and disengaged the safeties.

They aimed rigidly at that section of the wall.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the tomb passage became extremely tense.

The Archaeological Team members in the rear watched this scene in terror, their eyes filled with dull, stunned expressions.

Professor Yang, however, was composed; he reacted immediately and began to check on Xiao Wang's condition.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

The unconscious Xiao Wang suddenly opened his eyes and gasped heavily.

Only after seeing Professor Yang's face in front of him did his heart, which had been pounding violently from fear, finally begin to calm down.

"Professor... inside the wall, there was someone inside the wall grabbing my ankle!"

But immediately after, Xiao Wang realized what had happened and pointed at the wall in terror, his eyes filled with shock.

Upon hearing this, Professor Yang's expression couldn't help but turn grave.

Upon inspection, he discovered a dark, bruised handprint on Xiao Wang's ankle.

It was clearly a bruise caused by the immense force of the unknown creature that had just grabbed Xiao Wang.

Professor Yang hurriedly contacted Professor Zhou from the Symposium via his headset to ask what to do next.

However, the voice that came through the headset was not Professor Zhou's.

It was—Ye Xiao.

"This is the location measured at thirteen steps; behind the wall is a new passage!"

"If nothing goes wrong, Xiao Tang also ran into this passage. The one who just grabbed Xiao Wang's ankle must have been Xiao Tang!"

Hearing this voice, Professor Yang felt a sudden sense of relief, though he didn't know why.

However, the scene unfolding before them still made everyone present feel slightly alarmed.

This wall, which resembled the illusions found in myths and legends, actually hid a secret mystery; this was something no one had expected.

But as they reacted, the atmosphere in the hall seemed somewhat strange.

Just a moment ago, they thought Ye Xiao had made a mistake and failed to find the location of the passage.

They had even confidently advised Ye Xiao that haste makes waste.

As it turned out... the clown was actually me?

Good grief, this was simply another blatant public execution!

The experts present looked at each other, all falling into silence.

Meanwhile, the audience in the Live Stream Room reacted, and a surging tide of comments instantly flooded the screen!

"Ah, this... good grief? I thought Ye Xiao had made a mistake, but I didn't expect that the clown was actually me!"

"Waking up from a dying dream, the clown is actually me! Hahahaha!"

"The way of heaven is a cycle; who has heaven ever spared? Now it's your turn to be publicly executed! Everyone who mocked Ye Dao earlier, come out and take your beating!"

"Sigh! I knew that with Ye Dao's extensive experience, how could he possibly be wrong! It turns out we were the ones who were wrong!"

"We were too shallow, still too shallow! We thought Ye Dao was in the stratosphere, but who knew Ye Dao had already crossed the atmosphere! Tsk tsk tsk!"

Professor Zhou also asked Ye Xiao, his face full of confusion: "Little Ye, how did you know the passage was in this location?"

Who would have thought, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately turned their gaze toward Ye Xiao.

After all, one had to realize that this was entirely a wall, a passage that was like a folded space or an illusion.

If one hadn't experienced it personally, let alone knowing it, it would have been impossible to believe that such a passage could exist here.

Therefore, this was actually a question that puzzled the rest of the experts as well.

Could Ye Xiao have truly been to this great tomb before?

However, Ye Xiao's next answer shocked everyone.

"The method for locating this passage is 'Xun'! The saying goes, 'A draft through the hall, the Xun position leads the way'; the direction where the Xun position is located is generally the direction where the passage lies!"

"As long as you determine the 'Xun Position', the location of the passage can be found!"

Ye Xiao's two seemingly casual sentences shocked everyone present.

This method of using the Bagua directions to determine fortune and fix positions was originally thought to be ancient cultural dross.

But unexpectedly, it had produced a miraculous effect at this moment.

At this moment, the audience in the Live Stream Room couldn't help but boil over with excitement.

"Good grief, is what Ye Dao said true? He isn't making it up, is he?"

"Based on my understanding of Ye Dao, he couldn't make up such a profound reason, otherwise he wouldn't be called Ye Dao!"

"Hahaha! That's right! Ye Dao couldn't make up such a profound reason! This shows that what Ye Dao said is correct!"

"My god, how magical! The Qimen Bagua is actually useful!"

"The I Ching has been passed down for so many years from ancient times to the present without ever being eliminated; there must be a reason for its existence! Could something that just fools people be passed down for thousands of years?"

Professor Zhou couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao with some confusion and asked: "The Xun Position? Isn't the direction of the Xun Position in the southeast? I just searched according to the Bagua directions, so why didn't I find the location of the passage?"

As he spoke, Professor Zhou scratched his head, seemingly extremely puzzled by this question.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile.

In turn, Ye Xiao asked Professor Zhou in return: "The Xun Position is in the southeast? Professor Zhou, are you studying the Later Heaven Bagua?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Zhou became even more puzzled.

"What is... Later Heaven Bagua?"

Seeing this, Ye Xiao explained accordingly: "The Pre-Heaven Bagua emphasizes that appearance stems from the heart, and the positions are determined by heaven! Not by man!"

"The Later Heaven Bagua, on the other hand, fixes every position rigidly, without flexibility, so its audience is extremely narrow."

"In the Pre-Heaven Bagua, every step you take, every different terrain, the positions are all different! You must go through extremely precise calculations, incorporating many factors, to calculate the accurate position!"

"Like in this passage just now, it was a state of chaotic Qian and Kun, with the entire Bagua orientation reversed."

"If there were no flexibility, it would certainly be impossible to find the location of the passage!"

Professor Zhou only half-understood this explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

Although the audience in the Live Stream Room didn't understand Ye Xiao's words, egging others on was their specialty.

Immediately, countless surging waves of comments flooded the screen of the Live Stream Room, completely filling it.

"Good grief, as expected of the lawless outlaw Ye Dao! This professional knowledge is top-notch!"

"Hahaha! Awesome! My Ye Dao is truly awesome, I have to give it to him!"

"That year I fought the eight great female demons, from nightfall until dawn. Let alone seven times a night, I nearly had seventy times. When I went out in the morning, I didn't even need to hold the wall; I only admire you!"

"Damn, the brother above is a ruthless man! But Ye Dao's professional knowledge is truly undeniable! Geomancy and such all rely on this!"

"Exactly, this is Ye Xiao's bread and butter; how could he not be capable when it comes to tomb raiding?"
